Reply #3: Che was known to execute homosexuals and to be a sexist... [View All]

, but please consider the time and where he grew up. South America back then, and to some extent today ,still harbors those types of feelings especially in men.

I consider his homophobia and sexism to be no different than our founding fathers owning slaves...it was a sign of the times, and I don't hold that against either of them.

However, executing homosexuals is inexecusable.

Supposedly, Che also laughed when asked by a reporter if Cuba would ever have democratic elections after Castro came into power.

ON EDIT: I am not telling you one way or the other what to think about Che or do with his icon...I just wanted to point out there is some truth to criticisms you will hear about Che should you use his image.
